If you think today’s titanium monstrosities sound better than a flushed persimmon, you have no soul.

For reference Fowler’s average driver head speed last year was 117.71 mph, so he swung the heavier wood a few mph slower. But 292.1 total? He’s still hitting it farther than 99% of the golfing world…using technology that’s 40 years old.

And if you’re on a persimmon high and want to see a little more of today’s pros hitting woods that are actually wood, I’ve plucked these from the craven maw of YouTube.
